Lancôme Spring Color Collection

02 March, 2017

Spring collections are always my favorite. It's something about them that has a very girly and fresh feel to them. This time the lovely people at Lancôme sent over a few of the products in this collection, along with the most desired one: La Rose Á Poudrer.

Ever since the first time that I tried the Grandiôse Liner and Mascara I've been all over them. This time they come in a different shade, a beautiful copper brown shade to bring a lot of light to the eyes. As you would expect, both products have a great pigmentation and are easy to work with.

The Parisian Lips Le Stylo in 02 Rose Mon Amour is a double sided lip pen that holds a cushion end with a matte formula and a sheer and hydrating pencil on the other side. The way to apply this, according to the Lancôme website, is to use the semi-matte side on the centers of the lips and sheer it out with the pencil side for an ombré effect. Another interesting product is Le Crayon Miracle in White, perfect for bringing light into the eyes by gliding it through the waterline and inner corners. Although it is a creamy kohl I realized that it set immediately, which means it will stay put for a long time, even in the waterline where all products easily fade away.

The star of the show has to be La Rose À Poudrer, a beautiful highlighter that comes in a vintage inspired box of powder, with the highlighter dispersed among the petals of the blush pink rose in it. To me, more than anything, this product is worthy of having simply as a collector's item. The glow that it gives to the skin is rather sheer, nothing too intense but also quite reflective. To apply it you have to swipe the little Kabuki Brush gently through the petals and then apply on your cheekbones or any desired areas. As I said, it's not a blinding product but once the light hits you it casts a natural glow.
